re: #403 Blind Frog Belly White
This is why the line in Blazing Saddles - “We’ll take the N*****s and the Ch*nks, but we DON’T WANT THE IRISH!” is funny. They may not have been ‘wanted’, but they sure got accepted fast! Usually within a generation.
I think most of the prejudice against the Irish in the 19th century was religiously motivated anyway. OMG!! POPERY!!
